This exactly. The nose-in-the-air reaction, when they changed the ending on the fly right before release, without any of the peer review the rest of the story got, was moronic.

And yeah, every franchise is
>going to have fans that can't be pleased, but you really bring it on
>yourself when you spend years insisting "Choices matter!" and then
>come back at the end to declare "Truth is...the game was rigged from
>the start."

Remember when the devs said the endings couldn't be boiled down to one color or another, juxtaposed with the photo of the game files showing the red, green, and blue ending movies?

The Mass Effect fanbase remembers.

Authors of our fates
Orchestrate our fall from grace
Poorest players on the stage
Our defiance drives us straight to the edge
